How do I clean my DSLR camera lens?

Mindy

Do I need to buy anything to properly clean it? Is there a certain kind of cloth? When I do clean it, should I wipe the lens by doing circles or?

Thanks

I disagree only slightly with "screwdriver". I do not think the first thing to do is brush the lens. The first thing to do is BLOW the lens with a proper blower. Get the lens as clean as you can without ever touching it. Then after blowing away all loose grit, then gently brush it with a proper lens brush. In most cases, that is all you will ever have to do. If some substance does get on the lens, yes, the Eclipse fluid and Pec Pads are great, but there are less expensive alternatives.

Here is a cleaning kit that would be the best $11 you ever spent for you lenses:

Is there any way I can do it just this once because I don.t have a lens cloth or blower or even lens spray. Or is the only option to buy those things because I do not want to harm my camera or scratch the lens. Thank you.
